Glenn Douglas Shumaker

Glenn “Doug” Douglas Shumaker, 59, of Weatherford, passed away suddenly on Tuesday evening, October 27, at Weatherford Regional Medical Center in Weatherford.
Doug was born October 4, 1956, in Andrews Texas to John Wesley and Bettie Lee Shumaker.   He proudly served his country in the US Army upon graduation from high school.  He went on to study at Southwestern Seminary.  Doug worked as a real-estate salesman at DR Horton.  Prior to that, Doug worked in the oil field.  Doug will be remembered as a “gentle/quiet man” and was a known jokester.  He enjoyed playing and watching basketball and working in his yard and garden with his peach trees.  Most of all, Doug cherished time spent with his family – particularly his children and grandchildren and spending time with his beloved cat, “Kitty.”
